There was some buzz about Luke making a last ditch effort to get the car together for a walk up registration. But he became a homeowner recently and I believe he has his hands full at the moment.

I would be down to crew for the team again if I can get at least a little notice.

The car needs a new engine. The pistons have arrived, I dropped a block off this past weekend, I think Luke has the rods or they are on order. The parts are all there or on the way so if we get the engine together in time we plan on just running the regional rally on Saturday. It cuts the cost of the weekend down considerably and we can pay the entry on arrival. It will be more of a shakedown for the new engine.

And that way you don't have to run on the rough waste management roads and half as many super specials.

There is no such thing as too low or too stiff.

We will not be at STPR this year (2014). Though we were working on a new engine build we ran into a few issues that prevented the original build direction. Decided to wait, source a better part, and do a proper build in prep for the next event. There is still Maine, Rally West Virginia, Black River Stages, and several Canadian events to consider.

You're referring to the new build you have going, yes?
Is Luke going to STPR for the one day?
Get em all running for Maine and I'll come out and see em. Been thinking about it anyway.

I was referring to the new engine Luke was building for his car...but it affects the engine I was working on for my car. We both had the forged VW flat top pistons and thought they didnt look very forged. It turns out that they still refer to them as forged pistons even though they stopped forging them about 10 years ago. We have decided to get a nice set of custom pistons instead and do a proper build around them.

My car could be done by Maine but if I can get the paint done soon.

I guess I gotta ask the same question again this year. Why no Saabs?
